Modlbldr Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I finished this just now. I airbrushed it using a couple of old jars of purple paint I mixed up. Quite possibly HOK and nail polish? Then I misted on some HOK Lime Time pearl around the bottom. I made a stereo head and speakers out of some old scrap PE I had on hand. Also made an antenna out of tubing and a pin. Scrap mirror with a scratched base rounds out the custom parts. A bit of wiring and plumbing for the engine to make it look a bit more finished. Nothing special but a fun little kit to build.

Lucius Molchany Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 It's cool but i fear that stainless steel plates must be put under the exhaust pipes to prevent paint damage.They can be contoured to fit the curvature of the body perhaps made of diamond plate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 (edited) Looks really cool. I like the fade job. When you think about the deign, the fork specifically. I don't think it would be able to actually turn a corner with that extreme rake angle. Plus the springs on the fork probably wouldn't even compress. The rods will flex, that's all.😁 Edited March 27 by Mike C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
